Important Correction to 'July Week 5 Meets the Stock Market (and Treats it Badly)' article

The results displayed in the original article are all correct. However, the week of performance measured is the WEEK AFTER the 5th Friday in July. For 2021 this refers to the week ending 8/6.

This piece - titled 'July Week 5 Meets the Stock Market (and Treats it Badly)' - published on 7/23/2021, inadvertently referenced the wrong week for actual trading purposes. Please note:

  • All of the data and performance #'s ARE CORRECT
  • However, the data and performance #'s are all for THE WEEK AFTER the 5th week of July (i.e., the week ending on the 1st Friday in August ONLY during those years when there is a 5th Friday in July), and NOT Week 5 of July itself.

So, in 2021 the week in question is the week ending 8/6/2021 and NOT the week ending 7/30/2021.

The charts and text in the linked article have been updated to reflect this correction.

Apologies for any confusion.
